Wide thermal flexibility
Silicone gel remains compliant across a broader temperature range than many conventional foam gaskets.
This anodized aluminum channel uses silicone gel rather than polyurethane. The referenced gel family supports an approximately -50 to 204 C useful temperature range and forms a self-healing fluid interface around a ceiling or housing knife edge. The formulation suits terminal HEPA and ULPA frames needing repeated room-side changes, although silicone-sensitive processes should use the dedicated silicone-free urethane alternative.

The fluid seal closes around the knife edge after normal withdrawal and reinsertion.
Selected silicone formulations support cleanroom terminal service where emission control is specified.
